Snippet-box: Home Lab Dashboard for Code!

Snippet-box: Home Lab Dashboard for Code! @vexpert #vmwarecommunities #100daysofhomelab #homelabdashboard #selfhosted #markdownsupport #dockercontainer #docker #homelab #codeeditor #snippetbox #codedashboard

I love little self-hosted utilities that are great in what they do and can provide tremendous benefits running them in the home lab. I recently discovered one of those cool little self-hosted container images called Snippet-box. Let’s look at Snippet-box and see what it is and what it does exactly. As we will see, it allows you to create a home lab dashboard for your code! Table of contentsWhat…

i literally cannot comprehend the shit show unity is going to go through with the “exempt” charity bundles or “game demos”. Like the solution proposed rn is just “yeah we’ll make a form for you to tell us and then we won’t charge you.” I 100% believe that system is going to be rejecting cases and misapplying charges left and right, if the state of unity basic rn is anything to go by lol. they will build this nose diving plane in the air.

Not me being sassy to the game devs of Baldur's Gate 3

[slitherpunk]

if unity continues to go down this route i'm honestly afraid you're going to see games being removed from storefronts because they were once successful and now they couldn't afford the fees if people started mass installing it 🥴🥴🥴

oh who are we fucking kidding

[sl33py-g4m3r]

this is so surreal~~

No reblog this time cause I thought that it was too long at this point

are you telling me I've been installing linux on this computer wrong this entire time??

WE BACK ON LINUX BABY~~!!

all I had to do on install was just......

make grub boot from dev/sda1 instead of dev/sda

dev/sdb was the hard drive all of my data was stored on and if I didn't touch that, nothing would happen.

the cool thing here is that mounting the device here is password protected to actually mount and view the data. as opposed to windows having it mounted at all times.

this was simpler than I thought it was and now I feel really stupid...

Linux mint debian edition 6 lets go~~~~~~!!

I'm so excited~~!! come to find out that I've been installing the grub boot loader in the wrong place this entire time.....

*happy screaming*

now idk if I'm smarter than I think or dumber than I think. cause it could be both....

I didn't need to tinker with the bios at all~~ tho I am curious as to what it looks like now. maybe the windows boot loader isn't there anymore and is just the linux one?

By the way, because I just found myself using this again - if you want to backup your blog, I really recommend using tumblr-utils as described in this document! I originally wanted to reblog the post where I first found this, but it was somewhere further down a reblog chain and apparently the op either disabled reblogs or deleted it, since it didn't work. So I'm just sharing the link to the document (written by user @/magz) here:

It's genuinely so useful, I've used to use Tumblr's own export feature but once a blog reaches a certain size this just takes super long (mine took literal days until it was ready to download), whereas here it was just a couple minutes, plus the folder as a whole is much smaller too. And if you set it up correctly (with incremental saves, which is also explained in the document) you don't need to download the entire thing every time!

Personally I did run into two smaller issues, one being that the download of embedded Youtube videos didn't work for me (despite running pip install youtube-dl). Maybe it's just a me issue that I missed something on the install, otherwise I could imagine that maybe there's some compatibility problem between the current versions of tumblr-utils and the youtube downloader.

The other, very minor issue (which isn't even an issue per se, more like a preference) is that there is no css styling applied on my backup, when I open the html file, so it looks like a really old website like straight from the 90s😅 I was mainly a bit confused about whether I had an error or it was supposed to be like that, because a screenshot in magz' document showed that their page apparently has some styling applied to it. I still need to look more into the documentation (btw, here is also the documentation on github directly, though I think the most important features are included in the document anyway), but as it looks you can add your own styling by either adding an override.css file to change some of the existing styles, or add your own entirely by adding a custom.css file. It would be super handy if there was also a way to easily pull your current styling from your blog to copy-paste it in there, but I haven't researched yet if such a feature exists (if you know anything I'd be happy about additions!).

But one of the best features for me was that it also allows you to export your likes. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sometimes runs into this problem that you like something, but maybe feel too embarrassed to reblog it, or may not want to do so for another reason (e.g. it's something nsfw, but you generally never share nsfw content on your own blog). [Btw I still encourage you to reblog posts when you can, as it will usually make the op happy :D But I absolutely understand why you won't sometimes.] Problem is that when the original poster deletes it at some point, it will be gone and you'll have no way of getting it back. However with tumblr-utils you can export your likes the same as your own blog. Mind you that it will have the same name as your blog, but will only contain your likes and not your own posts, so the way I did it was inside of my tumblr_backup folder, I made a likes folder and then just downloaded it into there, like this:

(For downloading my own blog, I did basically the same except one folder level above and without the --likes flag.)

I just wanted to point out this feature specifically because I actually completely missed it when I first started using this method of backing up my blog. I looked into the document again today because I wasn't entirely sure about the whole process anymore and suddenly spotted that likes flag and was like "👀👀 this has been here the entire time and I didn't use it yet??!" One thing to be noted is that your likes will have to be public for the download, otherwise it won't work, however you can of course just set them to public for the time it takes you to download them (which in my case was a couple minutes for about 4000 posts) and then make them private again, and all should be fine.

All credit goes of course to the developer(s) behind tumblr-utils and to magz for writing this instruction document, but I think that maybe this post helps at least some of my own mutuals who might not know of this amazing tool yet!

the fact that I know several software devs who are obsessed with gen AI is insane when you think about it. folk literally worshipping the thing that's gonna take their jobs away

[leliwardens]

ik it's really the general state of fandoms that has changed over the past decade but i do feel some kinda way i've seen very little meta or just theorycrafting about like...any of the big reveals/originally planned upcoming plotlines from veilguard. like yeah, the series been shelved which does little to inspire discussion but even before that i don't remember seeing anything. it makes me go hm.

the more i use my computer the more i just want to basically be a netrunner from cyberpunk. having to move my arms around to switch between mouse & keyboard is quite annoying, but you have to use a mouse for a ton of GUI interactions and, once you've switched to using a mouse, it can be a lot faster for many things

specifically - i want to be able to move my mouse around my entire desktop quickly and precisely. there's a headtracking feature in macos but it's quite slow and clunky, and i can't really figure out a good alternative

a full implant in my head that i can just plug into my computer and control shit with i think is the ideal, but no corpo is making an open source implant like that to my knowledge and i honestly wouldn't trust most of them anyway. an eeg headset would be the next step down, but they seem expensive and likely would need a lot of training and i doubt could ever be very precise

eye tracking mouse control seems like the best way to do it without implants, but finding an open source library to do that escapes me for the moment, and it'd need to handle head turning & multiple desktops, and that's a tall order honestly. well, i'm sure someone's done it, but i really want to look at an element on my desktop and have my mouse immediately go to that exact point, and that is a tall order

there is facial detection libraries, but that means i'd have to spend a while picking them apart and piecing together something myself, which would take fucking ages. whatever i'd make would also need to be super quick & precise otherwise it wouldn't be useful, and that would make it even harder

corps like tobii do eye & head tracking hardware, but it's into the hundreds for i think the base consumer hardware and it's got a very strong gaming focus (not exactly giving me much hope for hacking something together with it)

it's kinda frustrating tbh, since it feels like i can get so close to getting something great working but the puzzle pieces are either dlc-locked or hidden in someone else's drawer. anyway, back to using the mouse & keyboard like a normal person
